I'm super stoked to finally have this thing on. This more or less completes the core of my roof setup--now I just have to bolt a few things on to it. I built a slide out solar system some time ago in preparation for this rack, and it's finally in place, but isn't wired just yet--I'll be doing that along with my lights (two side-firing LEDs, and a handful of marker lights) at the same time. The vehicle itself is already completely wired for solar though, so all I have to do is route the extension cables in to the bed and plug them in. I'd like to make headway on all of that by the coming weekend.

Lol! I cross posted over here (on my build thread as well) since it pertained to multiple sections. You commented on the overlanding section post.

I figured I'd update here instead of posting something somewhere else. I made some improvements to the solar system on my roof rack. It's coming along!

Total Fan boi here. Your build is like reading my mind. I researched toppers and came across RSI then found your info - one of the first I saw with the RSI topper. I was also researching a roof rack and here you are installing the front runner. And you have Punk'n. Love your rig and great idea on the solar sliding panel. Thanks!

Appreciate it! I think it's coming along haha.

It's actually Firecracker Red! I have noticed that it looks orange-ish in some of my videos though.
